Genesis is a science fiction novel by Bernard Beckett. I started reading this at 5a in the morning and by 2p I am finished. I find myself reading this kind of books lately and totally enjoying it. The lead character in this story is Anaximander, a history student that is new candidate for The Academy. I loved how articulate she is and how sure of her strengths.

45. Nineteen Minutes

Another book by Jodi Picoult, this took just a couple of days to finish. By now, I am pretty much familiar by how she writes. This story is a bit like Columbine in the sense that the lead character started shooting his classmates at school after a lifetime of being bullied. It is pretty easy to read and wasn't too heavy to deal with given the heart of the story. I didn't like most of the character in this book, especially Josie because I felt she is too wishy washy.

Reminder

Today I've been thinking about things that did not come together as expected, of broken promises and of plans that did not pan out. I have been thinking how heartbreaking it is. It is so easy to be angry and bitter about it all. It is easy but it would not be right.

I kept reminding myself that some things have to fall apart so better things can be set up. God will not give me something that I cannot handle. So, I thank Him for giving me a strong heart. I trust Him and I know things will be okay.

Reading Pastor Dennis' blog, this verse struck my heart today, Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

And so, I will remain smiling and trusting and happy. I believe for amazing things in Christ's mighty name. Victory is ready for the taking.
